The vehicle 101c can prove to be an obstacle for vehicle 101a, during an overtaking manoeuvre undertaken by vehicle 101a to overtake vehicle 101b.
[0018] The above figure merely uses a two lane road as an example. Embodiments herein can be extended to any number of lanes, with any number of additional obstacles present.
[0019] FIG. 2 depicts a vehicle configured for enabling assistance for overtaking manoeuvres for a driver in a vehicle, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The vehicle 101, as depicted comprises of an Overtake Assistance Module (OAM) 201, at least one camera 202, and at least one sensor 203. The OAM 201 can be connected to a plurality of systems and components in the vehicle 101, such as the vehicle speed sensor 204, the accelerator mechanism 205, the instrument cluster of the vehicle 206, the infotainment system of the vehicle 207 (including the display, speakers and so on), the braking system of the vehicle 208, and any other means of interfacing with the driver of the vehicle 101.
[0020] The camera 202 can be a high-definition camera and can be placed along the front end of the vehicle 101, in a suitable location so as to get a clear view of the road in front of the vehicle 101. There can be more than one camera 202 present in the vehicle 101. The camera 202 can be a motion-triggered camera, which gets triggered on detecting motion. The camera 202 can be a normal camera, an infrared camera, and so on. The camera 202 can be further equipped with night vision means to enable visibility during low visibility situations. The camera 202 can capture at least one of still images and video inputs.
[0021] The sensors 203 can be at least one of ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) sensors, or any other sensors, which can be used to detect obstacles in front of the vehicle 101 and the distance between the detected obstacles and the vehicle 101. The sensors 203 can be placed along the front end of the vehicle 101, in a suitable location so as to get a clear view of the road in front of the vehicle 101. There can be more than one sensor 203 present in the vehicle 101.
[0022] The camera 202 can continuously capture feed (which can be in the form of still images or video feeds) of the area in front of the vehicle 101. The camera 202 can provide the feed to the OAM 201. The OAM 201 can perform at least one suitable image processing technique on the feed received from the camera 202. The image processing technique can comprise of at least one of convolution edge detection, mathematics, filters, trend removal, image analysis or any other suitable technique, which can enable the objects in the feed to be more visible.
[0023] Using the image processing technique, the OAM 201 can determine the presence of at least one object of interest. The object of interest can be the vehicle 101b, the vehicle 101c and so on (wherein the detected vehicle can be in motion or stationary). The OAM 201 can use a suitable technique of machine vision based on analysis of consistent image regions such as blob analysis to detect the vehicle, as depicted in an example in FIGs. 3a and 3b. Further using the image processing technique, the OAM 201 can determine the co-ordinates of the at least one object of interest. On determining the co-ordinates the at least one object, the OAM 201 can further perform image segmentation using background subtraction. In an example herein, the OAM 201 can detect the moving pixels, which can be present in the foreground and are subtracted, resulting in the example depicted in FIG. 3c.
[0024] The OAM 201 can further receive data from the sensors 203. In an embodiment herein, the OAM 201, on detecting an object of interest, can trigger the sensors 203. In an embodiment herein, the sensors 203 can also provide data in a continuous manner to the OAM 201. The sensors 203 can provide data regarding the location of the identified object of interest. The OAM 201 can calculate parameters such as speed of the identified object of interest, the distance of the identified object of interest from the vehicle 101, the direction of travel of the identified object of interest (in the same direction of the vehicle 101, in the direction opposite to the vehicle 101, in the direction at an angle to the vehicle 101 and so on), the lane of travel of the identified object of interest (in the same lane, in an adjoining lane and so on), based on data provided by the sensors 203.
[0025] Based on the feed from the camera 202 and the data from the sensors 203, the OAM 201 can determine the position of the vehicle and relative positions of other vehicles in its vicinity (the identified objects of interest). Based on the determination, the OAM 201 can check if the vehicle has to perform an overtaking manoeuvre. If the vehicle has to perform an overtaking manoeuvre, the OAM 201 can check if the vehicle 101 can perform a successful overtaking manoeuvre. This can be based on additional factors such as the current speed of the vehicle, any inputs from the driver on the accelerator and/or brake, power available to the vehicle 101, the size of the vehicle 101, the performance of the vehicle 101, and so on. Based on the check performed by the OAM 201, the OAM 201 provides a first type of indication to the driver of the vehicle 101 that the driver can successfully perform the overtaking manoeuvre. The first type of indication can be in the form of at least one of a visual signal (for example, a glowing icon on the instrument panel, a change in the lighting in the vehicle, an indication on a HUD (Heads-Up Display), and so on), an audio signal (for example, a pre-defined audio tone, a pre-defined voice saying a code and so on), a combination of a visual and audio means and so on. If the OAM 201 detects that the driver has to take at least one action to successfully complete the overtaking manoeuvre (such as increasing the speed of the vehicle), the OAM 201 can include information in the first type of indication to take the at least one action. If the action is to increase the speed of the vehicle, the OAM can also include an indication in the first type of indication indicating the speed at which the vehicle 101 has to be in order to enable successful completion of the overtaking manoeuvre. The indication can be in the form of at least one of a visual signal (for example, a glowing icon on the instrument panel, a change in the lighting in the vehicle, an indication on a HUD (Heads-Up Display), and so on), an audio signal (for example, a pre-defined audio tone, a pre-defined voice saying a code and so on), a combination of a visual and audio means and so on.
[0026] If the OAM 201 detects that the driver is unable to complete the overtaking manoeuvre (either before hand or during the driver performing the overtaking manoeuvre (which can be due to a change in conditions such as a new identified obstacle, the vehicle 101c increasing its speed and so on)), the OAM 201 can provide a second type of indication to the driver. The second type of indication can be in the form of at least one of a visual signal (for example, a glowing icon on the instrument panel, a change in the lighting in the vehicle, an indication on a HUD (Heads-Up Display), and so on), an audio signal (for example, a pre-defined audio tone, a pre-defined voice saying a code and so on), a vibration means (such as vibrating the accelerator pedal, the gear shift stick), a combination of a visual and audio means, a combination of visual and vibration means, a combination of audio and vibration means, a combination of audio, vibration and visual means, and so on.
[0027] The OAM 201 can enable the driver and/or a user to configure the indications, at any point in time. The OAM 201 can also enable the driver and/or a user to turn the features of the OAM 201 ON/OFF. The OAM 201 can enable the driver and/or a user to configure at least one parameter related to the overtaking manoeuvre (such as a minimum distance between vehicle 101a and vehicle 101b, a minimum distance between vehicle 101a and 101c, and so on).
[0028] In an embodiment herein, the OAM 201 can consider external factors such as speed limits (set by the driver and/or user or by authorities), while determining whether the overtaking manoeuvre is possible and/or can be completed successfully.
[0029] FIGs. 4a and 4b are flowcharts depicting the process of providing assistance for overtaking manoeuvres for a driver in a vehicle, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The camera 202 continuously captures (401) feed (which can be in the form of still images or video feeds) of the area in front of the vehicle 101 and provides (402) the feed to the OAM 201. The OAM 201 detects (403) the presence of at least one object of interest (herein, a vehicle) by performing at least one suitable image processing technique on the feed received from the camera 202. The OAM 201 determines (404) the co-ordinates of the vehicle(s). The OAM 201 further receives (405) data from the sensors 203 regarding the location of the identified object of interest.
